Grace is back and has more fun Mets moments to discuss. The Mets are still winning, with the power of Grimace fueling them (including an appearance at Pride Night). Grace talks about how fun this group is, with an infectious energy that makes them easy to root for. She also discusses the roster to this point and what they may look for at the trade deadline.

Then, Grace discusses the LGBTQ+ representation at the upcoming Olympics. There’s a ton of queer representation, especially for the UNited STates, and it illustrates how far we’ve come and how far we’ve yet to go. It also helps put faces to a lot of debates that are spinning out of control over the last few years.

Finally, Grace recommends a movie perfect for the fourth of July. Robert Altman’s epic Nashville depicts America at its simultaneous highs and lows. It also has an incredible cast and one of the greatest songs ever written for a movie.
